    Drag yourself to the local store that sells chairs etc.

    What is comfortable for one person is torture for another. Somethings have to be purchased hands on.

    If your legs are falling asleep it probably means your seat is too high. If you lower it, that should give some relief. As far as a cushion goes, I can’t help too much. I had one for my last chair and it worked fine, but I ditched the chair for an Aeron and haven’t had any problems at all. As far as I know, any cushion is gonna be just fine. Padding is padding.

      Was gonna say a cushion is probably not the solution to OPs problem, they’re either not using their chair correctly or the chair is bad

    I’ve had good results with the cushionlab car-specific one. I know they make a regular one, but the car seat shape works great on the particular mesh chair I have for some reason. Getting out for an occasional walk helps a lot too, even 10 minutes.

    I’ll say that some chairs are more comfortable than others, but a standing desk is finally what felt the most comfortable for me.

      I got a standing desk at work and when I was nervous I just started pacing around the whole office and creeping out my employees. Had to get back to sitting

        I liked using my standing desk in my home office. so much that I eventually got one for the office.

        I got a lot of compliments and interested short conversations, but notably only one other person transitioned to a standing desk.

        This really is the answer. You’re sitting too much and a need to stand more to build up your muscles and ease blood flow to your legs.

    I’d just get a chair that’s comfortable without any add-ons. I have a Steelcase Leap V2 at home, and a Steelcase Amia at work. I can and have sat in these for 16hrs plus in a day. Tempurpedic also has nice, thick butt cushions in their chairs at a fraction of the price.

    Same as you. Trust me when I say this is the best chair I’ve ever used. 5 years on and still a solid chair.

    Gaming chairs are scams. Overpriced and just have fancy colors on plywood. Get a solid officechair. They make their chairs sturdy and ready to have someone sit in them for 8 hours a day 5 days a week.

    Mesh is another huge +1, this chair keeps you much cooler. People think they want leather or something. No, it gets too hot, and if you’re sweaty at all it’s sticky, and they don’t last well. A solid mesh keeps you cool, supported, and your bony ass can sit comfortably for long periods of time. (Just remember to stand up every once in a while, for health)
